The 'Firsts' of MX History.

[TooFastTim]

The first was the so-called Southern Scott Scramble, held on March 29, 1924, over a 2-5-mile cross-country course on Camberly Heath, England. The winner of the 50-mile race was Arthur Sparks with a time of 2 hours, 1 minute, 51 seconds.

No Firko, I wasn't at Rheims until 1987, ten years later.
Isn't this forum great, by way of chance we now have at east one version of how the sport formed.

Attended SummerCross last night up at Coastal Motorcycle Club,Henderson Park the club was Incorporated in 1919 and first main mx event was in 1920. 
Whilst browsing through the perpetual trophies I came across the club Champion/High Points and read the names of  P Hopwood 76/77 and Rod Gilchrist in 2000 and 2002 .
These are two of VMXWA  A Grade riders.
Leisk was on the same trophy.
